Features: Contemporary Western Literary Theory was completed after more than a year of collaborative effort by the writing team in 1997. Two additional chapters were added in 2005. We hope it can serve as a suitable textbook for elective courses in humanities at universities, offering correct perspectives, relatively up-to-date materials, and rich content. It also provides a valuable read for a broad audience interested in understanding the overall state and latest developments of contemporary Western literary theory. Contemporary Western Literary Theory, abbreviated as Contemporary Western Literary Theory in this book, spans from the early 20th century to the present, primarily focusing on literary theory. The term "Western" used in this book, in addition to its geographical meaning, also encompasses cultural and historical factors. Therefore, the book introduces several Russian theories but does not cover Soviet-era theories.
